Hi,
Underlying reasons of tinnitus would be the main concern although it is a very common condition, it can be age-related, it can be due to ear injury, it can be due to infection, circulatory disturbances, the exact cause of tinnitus is obscure (the mechanism of tinnitus ).
Treating the underlying cause can subside the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
